Windows 10: Printer connected to different network to pc

I’ve got a standard home Wi-Fi set up and I recently installed a new printer but the printer has connected to another network to the main one which has the same network SSID but with a three on the end and this network shows up in the network sharing centre as private but doesn’t appear on manage my networks anywhere. So my PC is connected to the main network and the printer is connected to this other one which as a result means I can’t print anything and I don’t appear to be able to get rid of this extra private network which I have.

networking a printer

when networking a printer does it have to be connected to the router or can it be connected to a pc and be networked thru the pc?

 

Connecting computer with no internet connection to network printer

1. Open Admin command and type: ipconfig
   
   
   
2. Win+X->Control Panel->Netwok and Sharing Center
   Follow the screen shot. This should disable internet access from this PC but allows access to local device(s)

Win 10 Network Printer Connection Problem

I have tried, when using the wifi from a Win 7 computer to connect to the printer connected to it. Others can connect.

I did do the three steps outlined:

• Open File Explorer. Pick the "Network" icon from the left pane (navigation pane) of the file explorer UI.
• If sharing is turned off you will see a pale yellow line towards the top of the window that states "Network Discovery is turned off. Network computers and devices are not visible. Click to change...".
• Click this bar and select "Turn on network discovery and file sharing"

None of the suggestion worked.

I did notice that the PC I'm connecting to is 'Private' while I am listed as 'Public'.

• Can this be causing the problem?
• Are there other suggestions?

I need to be connected to use the other printer so work flow can not be disrupted and someone else needs to print the file for me.

I will be with this group again on Monday.

Thank you.
